Pakistan take on Australia in this first of two T20 cricket Internationals at Edgbaston, knowing that they have lost their last 12 matches against them, in all forms of the game. They also come to the game having failed in their bid to win the Asia Cup, where they suffered at the hands of both Sri Lanka and India. It is easy to understand why therefore that Ladbrokes have Australia as 4/7 odds on favourites to win with Pakistan quoted at 11/8.

Pakistan will be captained by the inspirational all rounder, Shahid Afridi, who was more responsible than most for Pakistan’s World Cup winning performances in 2009, with him at the helm, Australia can expect a determined challenge to their recent superiority. Pakistan have also recalled Shoaib Akhtar to spearhead their bowling attack. Once regarded as the fastest bowler in the world, this match gives him a great chance to revitalise his flagging career, where he looks a good bet to us to be the Pakistan top bowler with odds of 4/1 from ladbrokes
Australia of course will be encouraged by their two wins in their 3-2 ODI Series defeat to England. Having gone 3-0 down, they played extremely well to make the score look respectable and will no doubt want to continue their winning ways. Although there will be no Ponting in the line up, they will have the formidable opening partnership of Shane Watson and David Warner to lead the way. If in top form these two can win a match in a just a few over’s, which is why we think they are great value at 7/2 each to top the batting for their team.

This match is certain to be rich in entertainment value and although it is nothing more than an academic series, both teams will want to win. We think that Australia have the momentum with them, so we would back them to win this one, but believe that Pakistan will be well worth backing to share the series 1-1, an outcome which is available at even money with Ladbrokes Bookmakers.
